I don't see how they're tacky. It's just a new fad and like any baby related trend, it makes people excited to do something to prepare for baby. I know my friends and I love a good party, regardless of reason.

Some people just like to throw parties. It's not a "bring a gift" party. Â It usually COSTS the mom and dad money to throw one because of food and decor. Â It's just for fun and a way to create more excitement. Â I think it's cuteÂ

This post kind of offends me. No one questions why you decide to do or why or calls it cheesy. We are having a gender reveal party and we are doing it because it's a fun way for our families to meet before our LO arrives!! Also because this is the first grandchild and great grandchild on all sides of either one of our families so why not do it in a fun memorable way!!

What's tacky about it? There is no gift giving. It's just a fun way for the family and friends of the parents-to-be to share in on the excitement of finding out baby's gender -- especially since most OB offices won't let more than one or two people in the room for the big u/s.

Im not having one but im curious as to your reasoning as to why they are tacky. Its not a "bring a gift" type party. You aren't asking anyone to bring you anything! I think they are pretty smart. Easier to find out all at the same time as opposed to tons of calls from everyone asking what you are having.

Maybe its my hormones or maybe SOME people need to read the community rules over again by why are so many people being so RUDE today?? I think this thread is extremely judgemental. If u dont want to have a gender reveal party GOOD FOR YOU!! so dont but dont judge people who find it a fun way to tell their friends and family what they are having.Â Between this and the comment i saw on the last thread I read i'm about done with all this, these posts are supposed to be uplifting and encouraging and some poeple apparently just dont have anything nice to say.
